Use only bobbins recommended by the manufacture, or by the sewing machine technician for the particular model, or the machine will not work properly. Depending on the machine a slide plate cover allows to access to the bobbin. Different features are appropriate for different sewing artistic work or fabrics. Note: a zipper foot is used to install a zip. The tension regulator dial controls the tension upper thread.
